Wikipedia names ‘super-injunction celebrities’

The four celebrities that are currently the subjects of super injunctions banning their identities from becoming known in relation to various scandals have been revealed on Wikipedia.

Users of the online encyclopaedia named the famous faces before concerned moderators rushed to remove the details.

Despite the best efforts of the site controllers, the name of one of the celebrities involved reappeared at least ten times.

As Wikipedia’s servers are based in the US, it is not liable for the postings but bosses have done their best to mask the names nonetheless.

One of the stars is said to be a Premier League footballer who has engaged in an affair with former Big Brother contestant Imogen Thomas and wants his identity kept a secret.

Another is thought to be a television personality who is attempting to prevent the publication of intimate photographs of him with a woman.

Earlier this week, political commentator Andrew Marr revealed he had taken out a super injunction after cheating on his wife but believes the legal orders are now ‘out of control’ so opted to out himself.

A spokesman for Wikipedia confirmed the website will continue to do all it can to prevent super injunctions being breached by British users.
